If you create a symbolic link
ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock
you can have access to mysql.sock not only in /var/lib/mysql
but in /tmp, too.
You can also specify in my.cnf file or with "--socket" option where
your socket file should be located.

You can create my.cnf by yourself. Examples of my.cnf (my-huge.cnf,
my-large.cnf my-small.cnf) you can find in share directory (for RedHat
it is normally /usr/share/mysql). Depends on what options you want to
specify in my.cnf; you should put it in /etc or in mysql data dir or in
home dir. For more info about my.cnf check the following link:

Besides, please please don't send me questions in private mail, post
them in the mail-list!
